Mr. Lewin and his family, including his daughter and her two children, were out for a walk following a community tree-lighting ceremony. James was pushing the stroller holding 12-day-old Sara in a crosswalk when a pickup truck suddenly turned the corner and headed for them. Just before the truck struck, James shoved the stroller out of the way so hard that the handle broke and the axle bent. His heroic effort worked -- Sara is unhurt.

The 10-year-old son of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith is set to star in a movie being made just for him: a remake of "Karate Kid." Jaden had his feature debut opposite his dad in "The Pursuit of Happyness."

Mr. Lewin, unfortunately, is in critical conditions with severe injuries. But according to his wife, emergency services were fast on the scene and doctors are pleased with his progress so far. Grandparents are often a child's first heroes, but I have a feeling that Mr. Lewin will always have a special place in Sara's heart. Here's to a speedy recovery so that this brave grandpa can get back to enjoying the little loves of his life.

Family Says Woman Killed In Crash Died Pushing Granddaughter To SafetyA Utah woman pushed her granddaughter out of the way of an oncoming vehicle, saving the girl but subsequently getting hit and killed, according to the victim's family. The deceased grandmother, 48-year-old Leona Cole, and her granddaughter, 8-year-old Precious, had crossed the street to go to the grocery store and were on their way back. “She was crossing the street and her shoe came off and she was leaning down to get her shoe back on and looked back up and they hit her,” said Dza Cole.

What a hero ! I pray that this grandpa's injuries heal quickly and painlessly. What an amazing and "fast acting" man. I am sure that this little girl will always have a special bond with her grandpa. What a beautiful story !

Definitly a Hero!!! That is amazing, I hope he has a full recovery. The other situation would that be Burger King scenario with the stroller? This man was purposly nudging this baby stroller and then ran the stroller over and got away, thank God that baby only had minor scrapes.

This Grandfather is a retired Firefighter from Los Angeles. He lives in Durango, CO and was visiting family when this happened. He was not expected to survive and has made remarkable progress all things considered. Heros never retire. May he make a full recovery and be rewarded for all he saved in his career.

There was a similar incident in my neighborhood....a mom was pushing her young kids in a stoller and a truck pulling a trailor loaded with bricks came unhooked and the mom shoved the stroller off to the side. Sadly, she did not make it. Her kids though only have a chance at life because of her last act of heroism. I hope this story has a happier ending and the little girl has a chance to always look up to and hug her grandpa for what he did for her.
